HOME PROFILE

THE OWNERS Paul Price, CEO of a fashion brand, and his partner Fletcher Cowan, a TV presenter and comedian. THE PROPERTY A Victorian three-storey house in north London. The lower-ground floor comprises an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space with a library and gym, plus a courtyard garden. There is a large living room, bar, guest bedroom and bathroom and a cloakroom on the ground floor, with a guest powder room on a landing between the ground and first floors. The main bedroom, bathroom and dressing room are on the top floor.

LIVING ROOM

‘This room is where we start the evening with cocktails and end it with nightcaps and dancing,’ says Paul of this vibrantly hued space, where either Fletcher or one of his friends sets up DJ decks for mini dance parties.

Get the look This is an Eighties Emanuel Ungaro sideboard. The photograph above it is Crowd #10 (Imperial Theatre) by Alex Prager. The bespoke hand-knotted rug was designed by Peter Mikic and made in Nepal. The faux sheep was found in Chicago. 

LIVING ROOM

‘This is our sexy room,’ says Paul, laughing, and, with so much going on in this space, ‘you don’t notice everything at once.’ Get the look The mirror was designed by Peter Mikic using angled platinum-leaf glass. The customised fireplace is from Jamb. The blue painting is Fade XXIV (Turquoise Blue Green) by Oliver Marsden. The framed vintage painting was discovered in a Paris flea market.
